NASA’s Webb provides another look into galactic collisions
mile for the camera! An interaction between an elliptical galaxy and a spiral galaxy, collectively known as Arp 107, seems to have given the spiral a happier outlook thanks to the two bright “eyes” and the wide semicircular “smile.” The region has been observed before in infrared by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope in 2005, however NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope displays it in much higher resolution. This image is a composite, combining observations from Webb’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) and NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera).
NIRCam highlights the stars within both galaxies and reveals the connection between them: a transparent, white bridge of stars and gas pulled from both galaxies during their passage. MIRI data, represented in orange-red, shows star-forming regions and dust that is composed of soot-like organic molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. MIRI also provides a snapshot of the bright nucleus of the large spiral, home to a supermassive black hole.
The spiral galaxy is classified as a Seyfert galaxy, one of the two largest groups of active galaxies, along with galaxies that host quasars. Seyfert galaxies aren’t as luminous and distant as quasars, making them a more convenient way to study similar phenomena in lower energy light, like infrared.
This galaxy pair is similar to the Cartwheel Galaxy, one of the first interacting galaxies that Webb observed. Arp 107 may have turned out very similar in appearance to the Cartwheel, but since the smaller elliptical galaxy likely had an off-center collision instead of a direct hit, the spiral galaxy got away with only its spiral arms being disturbed.
The collision isn’t as bad as it sounds. Although there was star formation occurring before, collisions between galaxies can compress gas, improving the conditions needed for more stars to form. On the other hand, as Webb reveals, collisions also disperse a lot of gas, potentially depriving new stars of the material they need to form.
Webb has captured these galaxies in the process of merging, which will take hundreds of millions of years. As the two galaxies rebuild after the chaos of their collision, Arp 107 may lose its smile, but it will inevitably turn into something just as interesting for future astronomers to study.
Arp 107 is located 465 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo Minor.
The James Webb Space Telescope is the world’s premier space science observatory. Webb is solving mysteries in our solar system, looking beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probing the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it. Webb is an international program led by NASA with its partners, ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).

LOWER IMAGE: This image of Arp 107, shown by Webb’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument), reveals the supermassive black hole that lies in the center of the large spiral galaxy to the right. This black hole, which pulls much of the dust into lanes, also display’s Webb’s characteristic diffraction spikes, caused by the light that it emits interacting with the structure of the telescope itself.

Methane Discovered on Distant Exoplanet Illustration Credit: Ahmad Jabakenji (ASU Lebanon, North Star Space Art); Data: NASA, ESA, CSA, JWST
Explanation: Where else might life exist? One of humanity's great outstanding questions, locating planets where extrasolar life might survive took a step forward in 2019 with the discovery of a significant amount of water vapor in the atmosphere of distant exoplanet K2-18b. The planet and its parent star, K2-18, lie about 124 light years away toward the constellation of the Lion (Leo). The exoplanet is significantly larger and more massive than our Earth, but orbits in the habitable zone of its home star. K2-18, although more red than our Sun, shines in K2-18b's sky with a brightness similar to the Sun in Earth's sky. The 2019 discovery of atmospheric water was made in data from three space telescopes: Hubble, Spitzer, and Kepler, by noting the absorption of water-vapor colors when the planet moved in front of the star. Now in 2023, further observations by the Webb Space Telescope in infrared light have uncovered evidence of other life-indicating molecules -- including methane.

Das hier ist aus "Leerstellen" ein Sequel zur Hanahaki Fic (Lilienweiß & Mohnblumenrot), das ich nie zu Ende geschrieben habe. Da sollte es um 5 POVs gehen und wie sie darüber denken, dass sie Leo fast verloren hätten.
"Oh. Sorry", sagt Adam leise und bleibt stehen. Reibt mit den Händen unwillkürlich über seine Jeans. Dafür, dass er so ein großer Kerl ist, wirkt er jetzt recht klein, wie er da im Türrahmen lungert und sie beide verlegen mustert. Offensichtlich hat er nicht damit gerechnet, dass Leo gerade Krankenbesuch hat. Erst recht nicht mit Leos Schwester.
Caro dreht sich noch etwas mehr in ihrem Stuhl, um ihn besser mustern zu können. Seine Augen sind müde, sein Blick gewollt stoisch, sein Mund eine schmale Linie. Gar nicht so anders wie damals. Adam von früher. Adam, der Traurige. Adam, den Leo so sehr liebt, dass er beinahe daran gestorben wäre. Hmm.
"Ich lass euch mal", sagt er schließlich kurz angebunden, zieht die Tür hinter sich zu und lässt Caro mit Leo und der Stille allein. Caro guckt zu Leo, der noch immer etwas verwirrt aber liebevoll zur Tür guckt. Er ist noch immer blass, aber er sieht besser aus als vor ein paar Tagen. Besser als beim letzten Mal, als sie sich im Café Lolo getroffen haben, wenn sie ehrlich ist. Caro weiß bis heute nicht, warum sie damals nichts bemerkt hat.
"Ich hab dir Butterkuchen mitgebracht", sagt sie, räuspert sich und deutet auf das in Papier eingeschlagene Päckchen, das sie auf Leos Nachttisch abgelegt hat. "Und die Bücher. Jetzt hast du ja wieder Zeit zum Lesen."
Es klingt spitzer als beabsichtigt und Leo schlägt die Augen nieder, während er betreten an seiner Bettdecke zupft. "Caro …"
"Nein", geht sie dazwischen, bevor er anfangen kann, sich in Ausreden oder Entschuldigungen zu flüchten. Dafür ist sie nicht hier.
Sie hat sich vom Arzt vorhin die Situation schildern lassen und ihr ist es kalt den Rücken hinuntergelaufen, als ihr klar wurde, wie knapp das alles war. Wie lange Leo das schon mit sich herumgeschleppt hat. Allein. Schwerer als alles andere wiegt diese Tatsache in ihrer Brust: Er hat das alles allein durchgezogen. Sie möchte wütend sein, aber alles, was sie fühlt, ist Traurigkeit.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day, January 27
75 years ago today, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and death camp was liberated by the Red Army. From 1940 to 1945 over a million were murdered at the camps, including at least 960,000 Jews. Many thousands also survived this horror, so on this day of remembrance, we honor those survivors, many of whom are still with us, with sample images from a booklet that accompanied a 2007 video installation by the noted Argentine artist Mirta Kupferminc, entitled La Piel de la Memoria (The Skin of Memory).
The daughter of Auschwitz survivors, Kupferminc in La Piel de la Memoria focuses on tattoos, especially prisoner tattoos, as identifiers and permanent markers of witness.She uses her own mother as a principal subject in her work; she grew up, as she says, “embraced by my parents’ tattooed arms.” In their short introduction to the booklet, Marianne Hirsch and Leo Spitzer write:
The number tattoo is the predominant, perhaps even the singular signifier of the Shoah. . . . This perhaps because it makes permanently visible how prisoners were stripped of their names, their identities, their past lives -- how human beings were turned into bureaucratic ciphers, Häftlinge. . . . Those who live with the Auschwitz tattoo live inside bodies that are memorials and media of defiance. Their arms are signposts alerting against the dangers of historical forgetting. . . . Here the daughter artist is performing a daring provocation. Staging the scene of the tattoo, she asks each of us to ponder what it might have been like, had we been there. Is it empathy? Identification? Appropriation of the trauma of the survivor? Those who respond to the call will have to decide for themselves.
The work of Mirta Kupferminc was among the very first set of materials we acquired when we initiated our Jewish Latin America Collection in 2007. Our copy of La Piel de la Memoria is Kupferminc’s signed presentation copy to the UWM Libraries.
On this day of remembrance, and in all future days, we remember.

Quote
When we reproduce in our own speech a portion of our partner's utterance, then by virtue of the very change in speakers a change in tone inevitably occurs: the words of "the other person " always sound on our lips like something alien to us, and often have an intonation of ridicule, exaggeration, or mockery.
Leo Spitzer as quoted by Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975) in “Problems of Dostoevsky’s Poetics”, translated from the Russian by Caryl Emerson “Когда мы воспроизводим в своей речи кусочек высказывания нашего собеседника, то уже в силу самой смены говорящих индивидов неизбежно происходит изменение тона: слова «другого» всегда звучат в наших устах как чуждые нам, очень часто с насмешливой, утрирующей, издевательской интонацией…”

Travel to Exotic Destinations in our Galaxy!
The planets beyond our solar system – exoplanets – are so far away, often trillions of miles, that we don’t have the technology to truly see them. Even the best photos show the planets as little more than bright dots. We’ve confirmed more than 5,000 exoplanets, but we think there are billions. Space telescopes like Hubble aren’t able to take photos of these far-off worlds, but by studying them in different wavelengths of light (colors), we’ve learned enough about conditions on these planets that we can illustrate them.
We know, thanks to the now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope, that there is a thick atmosphere on a planet called 55 Cancri e about 40 light-years away. And Hubble found silicate vapor in the atmosphere of this rocky world. We also know it’s scorching-close to its Sun-like star, so … lava. Lots and lots of lava. This planet is just one of the many that the James Webb Space Telescope will soon study, telling us even more about the lava world!
You can take a guided tour of this planet (and others) and see 360-degree simulations at our new Exoplanet Travel Bureau.
Travel to the most exotic destinations in our galaxy, including:
Kepler-16b, a planet with two suns.
Then there’s PSO J318.5-22, a world with no sun that wanders the galaxy alone. The nightlife would never end on a planet without a star.
TRAPPIST-1e, which will also be studied by the Webb Space Telescope, is one of seven Earth-sized planets orbiting a star about 40 light-years from Earth. It’s close enough that, if you were standing on this exoplanet, you could see our Sun as a star in the Leo constellation! You can also see it on the poster below: look for a yellow star to the right of the top person’s eye.
We haven’t found life beyond Earth (yet) but we’re looking. Meanwhile, we can imagine the possibility of red grass and other plants on Kepler-186f, a planet orbiting a red dwarf star.
We can also imagine what it might be like to skydive on a super-Earth about seven times more massive than our home planet. You would fall about 35% faster on a super-Earth like HD 40307g, making for a thrilling ride!
Any traveler is going to want to pick up souvenirs, and we have you covered. You can find free downloads of all the posters here and others! What are you waiting for? Come explore with us!

Water Vapor Discovered on Distant Exoplanet Illustration Credit: ESA, NASA, Hubble; Artist: M. Kornmesser
Explanation: Where else might life exist? One of humanity's great outstanding questions, locating planets where extrasolar life might survive took a step forward recently with the discovery of a significant amount of water vapor in the atmosphere of distant exoplanet K2-18b. The planet and it parent star, K2-18, lie about 124 light years away toward the constellation of the Lion (Leo). The exoplanet is significantly larger and more massive than our Earth, but orbits in the habitable zone of its home star. K2-18, although more red than our Sun, shines in K2-18b's sky with a brightness similar to the Sun in Earth's sky. The discovery was made in data from three space telescopes: Hubble, Spitzer, and Kepler, by noting the absorption of water-vapor colors when the planet moved in front of the star. The featured illustration imagines exoplanet K2-18b on the right, its parent red dwarf star K2-18 on the left, and an unconfirmed sister planet between them.

Repainted Miniatures in the Frédéric Spitzer Hours
Fifty-two discoveries from the BiblioPhilly project, No. 38/52
Book of Hours for the Use of Paris, Philadelphia, Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1945-65–5, p. 351 and 363 (detail of retouched miniature of Saint Michael; detail of unretouched miniature of Saints George and Lawrence)
The Austrian-born, Paris-based dealer-collector Baron Frédéric Spitzer (1815–1890) is well known to those who study medieval and Renaissance art on account of his famed collection of over 4,000 items, which was sold off after his death, and also on account of the numerous deceptive objects that passed through his hands at one point in time or another. In partnership with the restorer Reinhold Vasters, Spitzer orchestrated the production of misleading objects that he sold on the art market for enormous profit. These ran the gamut from outright forgeries, fakes, and pastiches to historicizing originals and honest replicas. A contemporary overview of his collection, before it became notorious for containing questionable objects, is provided here. Recently, Paola Cordera has written a monograph dealing with Spitzer’s wider role in the broader culture of the time, which also includes a list of the 3369 items in the 1893 auction, 508 items in the 1895 auction, and 686 items in the 1929 auction.1
The Spitzer Collection was famous for its astounding array of decorative arts, many of which remain legitimate masterpieces, but its manuscript holdings are less well-known today. Forty-three manuscripts are included in the 1893 catalogue of his posthumous sale, with most being recorded in the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts. A number of items stayed in France: at least three high-quality Books of Hours from the Spitzer Collection are now in the Bibliothèque nationale de France: MS Smith-Lesouëf 39 (lot 3012 in the sale) and MS NAL 3090, and MS NAL 3187 (no. 3016 in the sale). One manuscript, however, is now in Philadelphia: PMA 1945–65–5. This Spitzer provenance was noted when the item was acquired by the Philadelphia Museum of Art as part of the Phillip S. Collins bequest.2 As per the Schoenberg Database manuscript record, the Philadelphia book would appear to be identifiable as item 3005 in the sale, which is described as having 298 folios and a modern red vellum binding (details that match the PMA manuscript). In Cordera’s catalogue, item 3005 is erroneously equated with the DeBuz Hours, now at the Houghton Library, Harvard (MS Richardson 42), but that book appears to have been item 3006 (the folio count and binding match up).3 Incidentally, the DeBuz Hours was also at one point in Philadelphia, as it belonged to the local collector George C. Thomas around 1900, before being sold on by Rosenbach to William King Richardson in 1947. Cordera provides some additional information regarding the later purchasers of items 3005 and 3006 at the 1893 Spitzer sale: the former was bought by Bourgeois Frères of Cologne and the latter was bought by Godefroy Bauer of Paris. Whether these two buyers were also mixed up (i.e. whether our book was bought from the Spitzer sale by Bourgeois or Bauer) remains unclear.
In any event, the Philadelphia Book of Hours contains a fine cycle of early-fifteenth-century miniatures typical of Northern France. However, unnoticed until now are the various retouched miniatures. The whereabouts of the Book of Hours between its sale from the Spitzer collection and its acquisition by the wealthy Philadelphia publisher Phillip S. Collins, whose widow donated it to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, is uncertain (though as seen above it may have passed through a bookseller in Cologne or Paris). However, given Spitzer’s lack of qualms about re-working other medieval objects, it seems safe to assume that the modifications occurred while the book was in Spitzer’s hands. The book appears to be in generally good condition, so the intervention is limited to those areas that appear to have been worn selectively.
The first obviously retouched miniature occurs in the calendar. Here, the surface of the parchment has clearly suffered some damage. Even from the digital photo, the dissimilarity in surface between the somewhat blotchy square vignettes of the harvester and Leo and the rubbed line of text above is obvious. This can be contrasted with the subtlety of the vignettes for the other months, which appear unaltered.
PMA, 1945–65–5, p. 13 (first half of calendar for July; detail of the retouched Labor of the Month and Zodiac vignettes)
PMA, 1945–65–5, p. 7 (first half of calendar for April; detail of the unretouched Labor of the Month and Zodiac vignettes)
Other miniatures, like the Flight into Egypt and the Suffrages for Saint Michael (see above), Saints Roman and Audoenus/Ouen/Owen, and Saint Genevieve also bear traces of partial repainting. The retouched areas, usually limited to the heads of figures, are quite easy to spot. Several of these zones appear to have been subjected to localized damage prior to being repainted, perhaps caused by an early user of the book rubbing or kissing certain images of special importance. Of course, retouching illuminated manuscripts with anything approaching the finesse of the originals is notoriously difficult, but not impossible, as other examples preserved in Philadelphia prove. Recent research has also harnessed technical analysis to confirm the use of modern pigments in suspected forged miniatures elsewhere. However, the built-in protection of miniatures provided by the codex format, combined with the ready visibility of repaints, saved the manuscript trade from the pervasive reworkings and outright fakes that plagued the Old Masters paintings and medieval “minor” arts markets at the end of the nineteenth century, at the very time when the Spitzer Collection was being dispersed.
Nevertheless, the following images remind us that many such alterations remain to be spotted.
PMA, 1945–65–5, p. 171 (Vespers of the Hours of the Virgin with retouched miniature of the Flight into Egypt; detail of miniature)
PMA, 1945–65–5, p. 378 (Suffrage for Saints Roman and Audoenus/Ouen/Owen; detail of miniature)
PMA, 1945–65–5, p. 424 (Suffrage for Saint Genevieve; detail of miniature)
